Megalodon Monster Energy Truck Photographer US

The Monster Energy Series Monster Jam. Truly one of the most entertaining motorsports contests designed for family fun and excitement. There is just something about watching these huge custom built trucks, charging over dirt berms and getting completely airborne that is just so exciting to watch. This photograph was taken during the free style segment of the Monster Jam competition where there is just a single truck on the racing course at a time. This is a big plus for the motorsports racing photographer as they can focus (no pun intended) their complete attention to the single vehicle that has taken to the track…usually moving in a predictable direction preparing for a certain trick. Capturing one of these massive machines, performing gravity-defying maneuvers, in the air, always results in an image with great impact. Notice how this truck, "Megalodon", is frozen in place as it stands on it’s rear tires doing a crowd-pleasing wheelie. This photograph was taken at the Monster Energy Monster Jam event at The Nassau County Veteran’s Coliseum in Uniondale, NY on Long Island. A great deal of Monster Energy Monster Jam events are held in indoor arena. These huge powerful machines performing on an indoor track are a sight (and a sound) you will not soon forget. So these machines don’t have the precision and speed of more exotic racing vehicles such as Indy Cars cars or MotoAmerica Motorcycles. All speed contests cater to the spectators…the loyal fans. Monster Energy’s Monster Jam Series has a tremendous and loyal fan base to support their sport and the corporate sponsors that bring the action to you. If you’re looking for a new set of eyes…an experienced, diverse photographer to cover any upcoming racing event give me a call. My Long Island, NY studio is convenient to all racing venues in the Northeast United States and the Mid Atlantic region. I am available to travel for assignments anywhere.
